Products Description of Levulinic acid CAS#123-76-2

Levulinic acid is an organic compound with the molecular formula C5H8O3. Easily soluble in water and some organic solvents, but insoluble in gasoline, kerosene, turpentine and carbon tetrachloride. It hardly decomposes under normal pressure distillation. If heated for a long time, it will lose water and generate unsaturated γ-lactone.

Product Application of Levulinic acid CAS#123-76-2

Levulinic acid has a wide range of applications. Levulinic acid can react as either a carboxylic acid or a ketone. Through esterification, halogenation, hydrogenation, oxidative dehydrogenation, condensation, etc., it can produce various products, including resins, medicines, fragrances, solvents, coatings and inks, Rubber and plastic additives, lubricant additives, surfactants, etc.

In the pharmaceutical industry, its calcium salt (calcium fructobiate) can be used to prepare intravenous injections. As a nutritional medicine, it helps in the formation of bones and maintains the normal excitability of nerves and muscles. It is also used in the production of indomethacin and plant hormones. Bisphenolic acid produced from levulinic acid can be used to produce water-soluble resin, which is used in the paper industry to produce filter paper. Levulinic acid is also an intermediate for pesticides and dyes.
